After losing his job at a salad bar because of his weight, Herzl (Itzik Cohen), a morbidly obese Israeli, finds new employment washing dishes safely out of view from patrons in the kitchen of a Japanese restaurant. When Herzl's coworkers and new boss, Kitano (Togo Igawa), introduce him to sumo wrestling, he realizes he has found his calling. Energized, Herzl orchestrates a mutiny among the miserable ranks of a local weight-loss boot camp to recruit members for his own sumo wrestling club.
WE NEED YOUR HELP to complete our cemetery information
We are in the process of digitalizing our 3 cemeteries wtihin our system. When this project is finished, you will be able to access this information right at your fingertips. In order for us to provide accurate information we are asking your help. If you have a current deed or interment agreement please reach out to us at CEMETERY COMMITTEE or call the office with the information so we can complete the data input.
We are also in need of a few dedicated volunteers to actually visit each cemetery and verify the accuracy of our current maps. If you wish to help us with this project please click on the button below and let us know.
